Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a child safety seat and more particularly to such a seat which has a headrest.
  • a further problem which can then arise stems from when a child seat having a height adjustable head rest is used with a vehicle seat which itself has headrests.
  • the child seat headrest raised to its upper extension, there is a likelihood that it will impinge with the vehicle seat headrest, such that the child seat back does not lie in full contact against the vehicle seat back, and the child seat base does not lie flat on the vehicle seat. This destabilises the child seat, thereby potentially resulting in serious consequence in respect of the child seat not functioning correctly, particularly in the event of an accident.
  • the present invention seeks to alleviate such problems associated with.the prior known arrangements.
  • a child seat comprising a seat back and a headrest; wherein the headrest has at least a portion which is movable for accommodating a head rest of a vehicle seat against which the child seat is placed.
  • Movement of the portion may cause the headrest of the child seat to move with respect to the seat back.
  • the portion is, on installation of the child seat on said vehicle seat, moveable on engagement of the headrest of the child seat and the headrest of the vehicle seat.
  • the headrest of the child seat may be moveable forwardly in relation to said seat back.
  • the headrest is pivotally coupled to the seat back. In this way, the vehicle seat headrest can be suitably accommodated. As such, the headrest has greater freedom of movement, allowing better matching with the movement of the child's neck joint.
  • the headrest is pivotally coupled about an axis running along the top of the seat back.
  • the child seat head rest can thereby pivot readily to an optimal position.
  • the child seat further comprises holding means for holding the child seat headrest at a preferred orientation. In this manner, the child seat headrest can be adjusted to an optimal position and then retained at that position.
  • the pivotal coupling comprises a headrest connection means and a seat back connection means each provided for rotation on a common axle pin.
  • one of the headrest connection means and the seat back connection means has a though aperture for receiving an actuating cable. This provides a compact arrangement.
  • the pin has a camming handle at one end, actuation thereof compressing the headrest connection means and the seat back connection means together to secure their relative angular position.
  • the headrest connection means and the seat back connection means have mountings for slidable engagement with the headrest and seat back respectively.
  • a known child seat 1' formed of a seat base 2' and a seat back 3'.
  • the child seat 1' rests upon a vehicle seat 4' comprised of a vehicle seat base 5' and a vehicle seat back 6'.
  • a belt guide 21 is provided for guiding a seat belt correctly in relation to the seat.
  • a child seat 1 comprising a child seat base 2 and child seat back 3.
  • the seat moreover comprises a head rest 7 which allows for pivotal movement relative to the seat back.
  • the head rest 7 impinges upon the vehicle seat headrest 8', the child seat is able to seat correctly on the vehicle seat because of a joint 9 provided between the headrest 7 and the child seat back 3.
  • the headrest 7 can move away forwardly as a result of the position of the headrest 8' of the vehicle seat 4'.
  • the headrest 7 moves forwards (with reference to the usual direction of travel) so that the head rest 8' of the vehicle seat 4' does not itself support the child seat.
  • the child seat 1 is supported by the back rest 6' and the seat bottom 5' of the vehicle seat 4'.
  • the head rest 7 of the child seat 1 can be brought into and out of engagement with the headrest 8' of the vehicle seat 4' without changing the position of the child seat 1 on the vehicle seat 4'.
  • FIG. 3 The perspective and cross-sectional views of Figures 4A-4E and 5A-5E show the headrest joint 9 in alternative configurations, namely upright and tilted respectively.
  • the joint 9 is incorporated into an upright neck member 20 projecting from the child seat back 3.
  • This neck member 20 can be raised or lowered, the headrest incorporating a handle 10 which is used for uncoupling a locking mechanism for releasing the headrest for such vertical adjustment.
  • the connection is provided in the form of a cable 11 shown in Figures 4A to 4D which couples the handle 10 with a locking mechanism (not shown) provided lower in the seat back 3.
  • the joint 9 itself comprises headrest connection means 12 and child seat back connection means 13, provided on a common axle or pin 14.
  • the headrest and seat back connection means can pivot relative to one another about the axle.
  • the pin 14 runs through from one end of the headrest connection means, through the seat back connection means and is secured to the far headrest connection means.
  • a clamping handle 15 is provided to the near end of the pin and forms a locking/release handle. By turning or flipping the clamping handle, a cam surface 17 provided thereon acts on follower 16 to pull the pin 14 relative to the headrest connection means and child seat back connection means.
  • the headrest and child seat back connection means 12,13 are compressed together, locking them in their relative positions/orientations.
  • the headrest and child seat back connection means 12,13 have box-shaped protrusions which are mounted in the headrest 7 and neck member 20 of the seat back respectively. These protrusions have reinforcing webbing.
  • Alternative means for accommodating a vehicle seat headrest are envisaged within the scope of the invention, such as a cavity in the rear of the headrest having a movable cover panel.
